Use portabello mushrooms to make the best fajita-style Vegan Tacos with grilled onions and peppers. Easy 3-ingredient marinade adds so much flavor!
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Mix avocado oil, fiesta seasoning and lime juice in a small bowl
and set aside.
Wipe portabello mushroom caps clean. Turn over and remove
stems. Use a small spoon to gently scoop out gills.
Peel onion and cut into 2 or 3 thick slices across the
center. You can use a toothpick to secure these rings together (makes it easier
to flip them on the grill!).
Wash bell pepper, slice in half from top to bottom. Use a
paring knife to remove ribs and seeds.
Wrap stack of corn tortillas in a large piece of tinfoil and
set aside.
Chop cabbage and measure ½ cup (or buy already shredded
cabbage to save time).
Pull cilantro leaves off stems until you have ½ cup.
Slice avocados in half. Carefully remove pit and peel off
skin. Slice each half into 6 slices per side leaving you with a total of 24
avocado slices (2 per taco).
Brush marinade over mushroom caps, peppers, and onions until well
coated.
Cook vegetables on grill over medium heat for 6 to 8
minutes, flipping 1 to 2x, until tender.
Place tinfoil packet with corn tortillas over indirect heat for
2 to 3 minutes to warm while vegetables are cooking.
Carefully remove (using a spatula) vegetables and slice into
thick pieces for tacos.
Layer each corn tortilla with sliced portabello mushrooms, peppers
and onions. Top with 2 avocado slices, shredded cabbage and cilantro leaves. Serve
immediately and Enoy!
If you want a spicier taco, sprinkle some of the Tastefully Simple Fiesta Party Seasoning on each taco right before serving.
Substitutions:
Onion: You can substitute sweet onion for red onion.
Bell Pepper: Any color bell pepper will work.
Tortillas: I used organic corn tortillas made from only 3 ingredients (organic yellow corn, sea salt and a trace of lime). You can use any tortillas you like made from corn, flour, cassava, or even hard-shell tacos. I have even enjoyed the leftovers as lettuce wraps with multiple layers of iceberg lettuce and it was fantastic!
Cabbage: Shredded green OR red cabbage will work fine. You can buy a bag of pre-shredded cabbage to save time.
Cilantro: I know that some of you are not big fans of cilantro. You can skip it OR add some sliced scallions.
Avocado: Sliced avocado is the quickest option but Guacamole is amazing with these vegan tacos or the vegan avocado crema listed below.
Options to Add a Taco Sauce
If you have a few extra minutes, a quick taco sauce takes these vegan tacos to the next level! My dairy-free avocado crema or guacamole are both great options. Another option is to mix a bit of the Tastefully Simple® Fiesta Party Seasoning Mix with vegan mayonnaise and a bit of avocado oil to thin it out. You can then drizzle it over the fajita tacos right before serving. If eggs are OK, try my homemade mayonnaise recipe as a base.
